We Were Here won the AostaSera Award for Best Film by a Director Under 35. A solid Italian premiere. Grazie @bref_shortfilmfestival 🇮🇹

The jury said — “With lightness and irony, the short film stages one of the most widespread fears of our time: that of being replaced by machines. Moving away from the classic dystopian genre, the film takes a completely original path, reversing the point of view...”
